The series revolves around massive robots, known as "Mobile Suits," and the constant struggle between their pilots. Here, we will delve into Gundam's rich history and its growing popularity.

Gundam began as a vision of creator Yoshiyuki Tomino along with the design team at Sunrise. The original concept was based on human stories of war and peace, but with future technology where giant robots dominated the battlefields. Over the years, the Gundam universe has expanded with countless shows, movies, and spin-offs, all built on the original idea of the effects of war on individuals and society.
